Most people searching for a mobile app development company in Rajshahi have already paid one freelancer. They got a few screens. Then the chat went quiet right at the part that matters: payments, login and getting the app published.
I am RH Fardin, a one-person studio that designs, builds and ships mobile apps for Rajshahi businesses. Silk and clothing showrooms near Shaheb Bazar want ordering apps. Mango and agro traders need buyers to order from a phone in peak weeks. Coaching centres, hostels and student services near the university and RUET want apps for admissions, batches or fees. I do the planning, Figma design, code, bKash and Nagad setup, and store submission myself. Prices start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Senior solo operator with about 5 years building for the BD market. Full design approved in writing before code. Android and iOS from one codebase where it fits. Direct on WhatsApp. Pay by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Almost everyone who asks me about mobile app development in Rajshahi is on their second or third try. The first round was usually a student or part-timer from a university Facebook group. They quoted 20,000 taka, sent a few clean screens and took the advance. Then they went quiet at the hard part: payments, user login, push notifications and getting through the Play Store review. That is why owners look for a real mobile app development company in Rajshahi.
What is left on the phone is an APK that crashes on a cheap Redmi. There is no source code and no Apple account. Nobody knows where the back-end even lives. That is not a price problem. It is a finishing problem. It is the most common reason a Rajshahi business looks for someone it can hand the whole job to and trust to ship.
This brief is specific to the city, because Rajshahi is two markets sharing one map. One side is trade. Silk and clothing showrooms sit around Shaheb Bazar and New Market. Mango and agro exporters squeeze their whole year into a few intense weeks. The other side is education: Rajshahi University, RUET, the medical college, and the dense ring of coaching centres, hostels and student services around them.
The customer underneath is the same: a student, a parent or an out-of-district buyer on a mid-range Android phone. Their GP or Banglalink data thins out past Talaimari and toward the bypass. An app that only works on a flagship phone and office wifi fails here. For a mango trader, the real test is whether an order and bKash payment go through cleanly in the rush. For a coaching centre, a parent must pay a fee and a student must see a routine on a slow phone without freezing.
When you hire me, no project manager forwards your messages. No junior you never meet writes the code that handles your customers' money. I run the discovery call and plan the flow screen by screen. I build the Figma prototype you tap through before anything is coded. I write the front-end and back-end and set up payments. I stay with your Play Store and App Store submission until it is live, not rejected.
You get one senior operator with about five years of building for the Bangladesh market, and one WhatsApp thread for the whole project. That one line of accountability is why a solo studio finishes apps that agencies and freelancers abandon at 80%. There is no one to hand the painful last 20% to, so it gets done. You can see how I work at rhfardin.com before you commit a taka.
I will be straight about money, because app pricing shocks most Rajshahi owners. My floor is 50,000 BDT. That buys a focused, single-purpose app: a clean catalogue or menu, an order or enquiry flow, and a polished build for one platform. It is not a full marketplace for the price of a phone. The 90,000 BDT tier is a real app with user accounts, bKash or Nagad payments, push notifications and an admin panel.
1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller product with order or batch management, user roles, and Android and iOS from one codebase. Truly custom work starts from 3,00,000 BDT. That means live order tracking, many user types, deep logistics or a real student-management system. It is honest work, not a low number set to win you and abandon you later. It is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. You approve the full design before code begins.
Six things separate an app that ships and lasts from an APK that dies in the Play Store queue. They are how I work from the 50,000 BDT tier. They are not premium extras added to a bigger plan.
The person you brief on the first call designs the screens, writes the code, sets up payments and ships the app. No handoff from salesman to student that loses how your business really runs.
Mobile payment is built in and tested on a real cheap Android, not demoed once and forgotten. A parent pays a coaching fee, or a buyer pays for mango, the way every Rajshahi customer already pays. Failed payments are handled too.
I take the app through Google Play and App Store submission myself. That covers the listing, icons, privacy policy and the review back-and-forth. The last 20% kills most freelancer projects in this city. I own it all the way to live.
Tested on mid-range Redmi, Realme and older Samsung phones on real GP and Banglalink data out past Talaimari. Not just my device on office wifi. The install is small, and the app stays smooth on a slow student phone.
Mango, silk and admission cycles run on tight windows. I plan the build so the app is live, tested and on the store before your weeks arrive. It is not finished halfway through, after the buyers have moved on.
Source code, back-end and store accounts are handed over in your name at launch, in one document. No vendor lock-in and no developer holding your APK hostage. Most local freelancers here quietly fail this test.
Many app ideas I get from Rajshahi are aimed, one way or another, at students. A coaching centre wants an app for batch routines, fee payment and a question bank. A hostel or mess wants bookings and rent. A campus food spot near RUET or the university wants its own ordering app instead of taking every order over Messenger. These look simple, but the audience makes them unforgiving. Students are the toughest users you can design for.
They have the cheapest phones and the tightest data. They will instantly uninstall a 60MB app that takes ten seconds to open. Word travels across a hostel floor faster than any ad. If one batch decides the app is slow and useless, your whole funnel is gone. So for this market I build small and fast on purpose. The install is tiny, screens load on weak data, and a bKash or Nagad fee payment survives when the network blinks between classes. Flashy versions die in students' hands.
Silk, clothing and mango teach the same lesson. Do not build the full vision in version one. A mango exporter does not need a rider network and a wallet on day one. It needs a buyer app where an out-of-district customer sees today's stock, places an order and pays an advance by bKash. It must ship before the season opens. A silk showroom does not need a marketplace. It needs a clean catalogue and order app a buyer trusts enough to send money to.
Start with the version that solves the one expensive problem. Get it live and used by real Rajshahi customers on their real phones. Then spend the next budget on what that usage proves you need. Send me your idea and one line on who it is for: a student, a mango buyer or a showroom customer. Within a day, I will tell you honestly which tier fits and what version one should be. I will also say what 50,000, 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT actually buys you.

The questions Rajshahi owners actually open with on WhatsApp. We start with the one everyone asks first.
The floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, single-purpose app on one platform, like a catalogue, menu or routine with an order or enquiry flow. 90,000 BDT gets user accounts, bKash or Nagad payments, push notifications and an admin panel. 1,50,000 BDT adds order or batch management, user roles, and Android and iOS from one codebase. Live tracking, many user types, or student-management and logistics systems start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. A 20,000-taka quote for an app with payments never finishes.
Judge the work, not the headcount. Here, a "company" is often a Facebook page that forwards your build to a freelancer elsewhere. Or the senior who pitched you hands the code to a junior with under two years of experience. University part-timers vanish at the hard part. With me, the person you brief designs, codes, adds payments and ships every screen. The honest trade-off: I take a few app projects at a time, with no 24-hour helpdesk. But I finish each app properly. Check rhfardin.com before deciding.
Yes. For the Rajshahi market it is the whole point. From the 90,000 BDT tier, I add bKash and Nagad payment, so customers check out the way they already pay for everything. I test it on a real mid-range Android, not just once in a demo. I also handle failures: a dropped connection mid-payment, a timeout or a cancelled transaction. These happen on thin GP and Banglalink data past Talaimari. An app that loses a mango order or coaching fee when the network blinks loses the customer.
Yes. It is one of my most common Rajshahi briefs, since the city runs on its university and coaching ring. A typical build has student login, batch routines and notices, and fee payment by bKash or Nagad. You get an admin panel to manage batches and see who has paid. That sits around the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tier. I push hardest on speed and install size, because students drop heavy apps fast. A full system with roles, attendance and reports is custom work from 3,00,000 BDT.
Yes. Getting it published is part of the job, not an extra you chase later. I prepare the store listing, icons, screenshots and privacy policy. I submit to Google Play and the Apple App Store. I handle the review back-and-forth until the app is live and not rejected. The accounts are set up in your name and handed to you, so you own the listing. This last 20% is where most Rajshahi freelancer projects die. So it is the part I own all the way to the end.
Yes, and in Rajshahi this matters more than most developers plan for. Your real money may land in a few intense weeks: mango season, the silk buying cycle or the admission rush. Tell me at the start, and we work backward from it. I plan a version one that can be built, tested on real phones and approved on the store before your window opens. One person handles design, development and store submission. No team scheduling slows the launch, so a tight seasonal deadline is realistic, not a gamble.
